Xiao Mu left a false body to guard the missing point, but unfortunately, the missing point seemed to be abandoned, and there was no more movement.
This result inevitably disappointed Xiao Mu.
In desperation, he had no choice but to temporarily put these things aside and continue to practice.
"Meet Master!"
Duan Ming appeared in front of Xiao Mu.
"Get up!" Xiao Mu waved him to get up.
Compared with before, Duan Ming's strength has faintly increased, and he has actually been promoted to the Yin God Realm.
Although this person's aptitude is average, but the resources Xiao Mu gave are so rich that Duan Ming stepped into the Yin God Realm with almost no effort in his cultivation.
At this time, Duan Ming, who had stepped into the Yin God Realm, had completely controlled the power of the ancient city, and not long ago, he had just been appointed by Qin Yuan to be in charge of guarding the ancient city.
On this day, he specifically came to greet Xiao Mu.
Although Xiao Mu has never agreed to accept Duan Ming as a disciple, Duan Ming has always been very respectful to Xiao Mu as a disciple.
"Master!" Duan Ming began to report his plan, "Recently, I plan to take people to the green hills in the north to explore. Before, there was a case of farmers disappearing on the green hills, and I haven't figured out why. People are very disturbed, and if they don’t explore clearly, I’m afraid some people will flee.”
Xiao Mu was a little surprised by Duan Ming's plan.
After becoming the person in charge of the ancient city, Duan Ming has obviously matured a lot in his work and has become more and more methodical.
He nodded and ordered: "You can go if you want, but pay attention to safety and bring as many people as possible."
"Yes, Master!"
Duan Ming agreed, then bid farewell to Xiao Mu, went to the city to find people to go to explore Qingshan.
But Xiao Mu, after the other party left, immediately separated a clone and followed him secretly.
Before, he personally explored Qingshan, but he did not find any clues about the disappearance of the farmer, nor did he find the hidden powerful man in heaven.
Now, Duan Ming took the initiative to go, but Xiao Mu felt that the possibility of the other party attracting a strong man from heaven was much higher than himself.
As for asking Duan Ming to bring more people, it was because there were too many people. After seeing the hidden heavenly powerhouse, he might not be able to bear such an attraction and couldn't help but strike again.
Xiao Mu can take the opportunity to capture him.
After leaving Xiao Mu's residence, Duan Ming immediately went to recruit people, and he found Senior Brother Guo first.
Brother Guo's strength has also improved a lot, because he got a lot of benefits from being close to Duan Ming, and he was also promoted to the Yin God Realm.
Now, he and Duan Ming are very close, and he seems to have become Duan Ming's most important assistant.
After reuniting with Senior Brother Guo, he continued to recruit people. In the end, Duan Ming brought four people from the Yin God Realm, five people from the Fifth Mortal Realm, and fifteen people from the Fourth Mortal Realm, and began to march towards Qingshan.
During this period of time, because everything has stabilized, and Qin Yuan has distributed resources to various places, the strength of the mutants has improved quite quickly.
In the past, to a large extent, it was actually because it couldn't work. If it could work, it would be no worse than now.
However, most of the Donghuang people were terrified. They ran away, ran, and hid. In the end, the entire Donghuang was difficult to operate, and resources could not be distributed.
Now, because Xiao Mu killed three heavenly gods and stabilized the morale of the army, the entire northern part of the Eastern Wilderness immediately operated smoothly.
Duan Ming led the team and headed towards Qingshan, while Xiao Mu followed closely behind and entered Qingshan.
On the green hill, they passed a small village, that is, the village of the missing farmer.
In the village, I asked about the missing farmer's whereabouts, and learned that it was in the nearby valley, so he immediately took the lead and went to the valley.
The valley is fertile land. After everyone arrived at the fertile land, they began to search for clues to the disappearance of the farmer. However, even Xiao Mu couldn't find any clues. How could ordinary mutants like him find any clues to the disappearance.
Xiao Muzheng was a little disappointed, but Duan Ming suddenly made a decision to let everyone spend the night in the valley.
He had already prepared for what to do if no clues were found. So everyone started to set up tents, search for water sources, and cook fires.
Seeing this, Xiao Mu felt strange in his heart, but was delighted.
Duan Ming's approach was exactly what he wanted, and he had a faint premonition that this approach might be able to attract the hidden powerhouses in the heaven.
Of course, he himself had such an idea earlier, but he couldn't implement it at all. As a righteous god, he couldn't ask these ordinary people to be bait, could he? If something really happened to someone, as a righteous god, he still couldn't afford to lose this person.
Duan Ming's arrangement was exactly right.
Xiao Mu released his divine sense and secretly checked.
Duan Ming and the others started cooking. After dinner, they rested in the valley. It was night soon.
On the first day, nothing unexpected happened.
But Duan Ming seemed to want to carry out the investigation to the end. Although there was no accident on the first day, he still had no intention of leaving.
He led the manpower and continued to garrison, while investigating, while waiting for something.
The second day and the third day also had no accidents.
On the fourth day, everyone got impatient with waiting, some people already wanted to leave, it was all suppressed by Duan Ming and Senior Brother Guo.
On the fifth and sixth days, nothing happened.
Someone already wanted to leave, Duan Ming and Senior Brother Guo tried their best to persuade them. Then came the seventh day, and on this day, Duan Ming couldn't hold back anymore, because no mutant wanted to stay here for no reason.
Although it was an investigation, but nothing was found, and everyone no longer planned to continue.
Duan Ming had no choice but to promise that after today, if there is still no investigation result, he will go back tomorrow.
Although everyone was helpless, after hearing the words, they had no choice but to agree to wait one more day.
On this day, at night, the arrangement was still the same as before. Some people patrolled, some people lit a fire to cook, and some people began to investigate and look for clues.
Among the cooks, a fourth-level Mortal Realm went to the river with a bucket, intending to bring water back to cook for everyone.
However, just as the person walked to the river and just sank the bucket into the water, a hand suddenly stretched out in the water and grabbed the person directly.
In the river, there was only one bucket floating in the end.
Xiao Mu, sensing the fluctuation of energy, immediately transferred his divine sense, but it was too late, the hand that was stretched out secretly had already grabbed the person and left.
"Assemble, assemble!" Duan Ming discovered the problem and hurriedly summoned the people to assemble.
Everyone started to gather, everyone tensed up, and realized that something big had happened.
Duan Ming immediately sent out a distress message.
But at this time, there was a sudden sharp howling sound, and at the same time, groups of black shadows fell from the sky, falling directly towards the crowd as if they were falling into a net.
And in this black net, a hand followed closely behind, grabbing directly at the crowd.
Duan Ming and the others were terrified. The strength of the incoming people was too strong, and they would be suppressed as soon as they made a move, leaving them without any ability to resist.
Xiao Mu, who was waiting in secret, was overjoyed immediately when he saw this scene.
He immediately jumped out towards the shadow, targeting the hand behind the shadow.
"who?"
The hand in the shadow realized Xiao Mu's existence, and jumped out of the river in shock.
But Xiao Mu, taking advantage of this opportunity, directly shot out a wishful aura, locking onto this person's figure.
Boom!
Ruyi aura and divine light collided, and the power of Zhengshenyu collided in midair.
Xiao Mu's figure collided with the figure hidden in the dark, but quickly separated.
"Master!"
When Duan Ming saw Xiao Mu's figure, he was surprised, but also happy.
He didn't know until now that his cheap master had such astonishing strength, and fighting against the strong men in the heavenly court in flight, this must be at least the existence of the righteous gods, right
"Who are you?"
Qiu Yuan appeared and looked at Xiao Mu in horror.
The fight just now, although it was just a collision, he found that he was far from Xiao Mu's opponent.
So, he was afraid.
Xiao Mu looked at Qiu Yuan, but he was not in a hurry. He took the time to calm down, "Heavenly powerhouse? The last three disappearances were all caused by you?"
Qiu Yuan's face changed, knowing that he was being targeted, he immediately turned around and flew into the distance.
The cloud of retribution appeared under this person's feet, and his speed was very fast, flying into the distance like a light of retribution.
"You actually showed up, do you still want to leave?" Xiao Mu took the opportunity to catch up. He stepped on the cloud of the five elements, but his speed was much faster than Qiu Yuan. .
The wishful light appeared, and Xiao Mu aimed at Qiu Yuan again, bombarding him from top to bottom.
boom!
Qiu Yuan fought back in fear, using Zhengshenyu to collide with Xiao Mu's Zhengshenyu, but Xiao Mu took the opportunity to use the God of Opening Axe, a prototype of the ax with a sharp blade, and finally bombarded Qiuyuan's Zhengshenyu heavily.
The sharp blade of the divine ax was like a knife, and cutting it on Qiuyuan's Zhengshenyu was like cutting watermelon.
This Qiu Yuan's strength was originally not as good as Xiao Mu's. In the early stage of Zhengshen's battle against the middle stage of Zhengshen, there was no way to fight, so how could he resist Xiao Muzheng's power outside the God's Domain and the God's Axe.
As a result, Qiu Yuan's God's Domain was completely opened up by Xiao Mu, and it immediately collapsed like a watermelon was cut from it.
"I'll fight with you!" Qiu Yuan turned around in horror, wanting to fight Xiao Mu.
"You don't have that ability!"
Xiao Mu Ruyi's spiritual light gushed out and directly suppressed the opponent. The power of Zhengshenyu combined with the suppressing platform directly suppressed the opponent to death.
"What the hell are you doing?"
Xiao Mu took the opportunity to question the other party, trying to find out the other party's conspiracy.
However, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Qiu Yuan's face, and a dangerous feeling suddenly surged in Xiao Mu's heart.
At this time, a temple suddenly fell from the sky and directly suppressed Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu was taken aback. This is a temple, and there is no doubt that the caster of the temple is a strong man in the late stage of Zhengshen.
Surprised, Xiao Mu did not hesitate to cast the God's Domain, using the power of the God's Domain to unite the Zhenyutai, and at the same time borrowing the Opening Axe, the wishful aura blasted upwards at the same time, resisting the opponent's temple.
boom!
The temple and Xiao Mu confronted each other, and Xiao Mu retreated unconsciously.
But a hand suddenly stretched out from behind the temple, this hand was very huge, grabbed Qiu Yuan, lifted it up, and planned to fly away into the distance.
"It makes no sense!"
While Xiao Mu shouted, he suddenly mobilized the power of the Zhengdong Territory and mobilized the hand of the Fujun. His power in the Zhengshen Territory immediately increased, and he suddenly blasted upwards towards the temple, so the temple loosened and was set off by Xiao Mu .
And Xiao Mu took advantage of this opportunity to strike again, and with a wave of wishful aura, this wishful aura immediately cut towards Qiu Yuan's body.
With a puff, Qiu Yuan's body was cut in two and fell directly to both sides.
Energy +30.
"Damn it!"
Behind the big hand, there was a curse, followed by the temple and the big hand disappeared at the same time, and did not continue to attack Xiao Mu.
The strong man behind the big hand was obviously a little frustrated when he failed to save Qiu Yuan, but for some reason, he immediately withdrew instead of continuing to fight with Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu was a little puzzled, but at the same time realized that the opponent was powerful, so he didn't continue to chase.
The people in the Heavenly Court really have strong people. The existence that rescued Qiu Yuan just now is at least a strong person in the late stage of the righteous god, and it may not even be the peak of the righteous god.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, Xiao Mu lifted Qiu Yuan's body and immediately flew towards the central area of the Eastern Desolation.
While flying, he sent a voice transmission to Duan Ming and others, telling Duan Ming and others to go back.
"Elder Xiao, who is this?"
On the way, Xiao Mu met Zhu Ke and Wang Yuan who came to support him. Zhu Ke looked at Qiu Yuan in Xiao Mu's hand in surprise.
As soon as the battle started, Xiao Mu immediately transmitted the situation here to Zhu Ke and Wang Yuan. As a result, Zhu Ke and Wang Yuan rushed over to support them immediately after receiving the message. Naturally, Xiao Mu met them on the way.
"Do you two know who this person is?"
Xiao Mu threw Qiu Yuan to the ground.
Zhu Ke stepped forward and carefully identified it. Finally, he recognized Qiu Yuan's identity, and said in surprise: "This is Qiu Yuan, another righteous god of the retribution system in the Heavenly Court, a strong man in the early stage of the righteous god, and Elder Xiao Dayuan actually took him He killed?"
"Is this man Qiu Yuan?"
Xiao Mu didn't know who Qiu Yuan was, but he was worried about the strong man in the late stage of Zhengshen that he had fought with just now. Although at that time, it was just a collision and did not go into an in-depth fight, he still couldn't help but be wary of the strong man behind him, " The people from Heaven have already come down. Just now, when I was fighting Qiu Yuan, someone suddenly appeared and attacked me. That person had released the temple, and he was at least a late-stage righteous god."
"Late stage of righteousness?"
"Late stage powerhouse! Temple!"
When Zhu Ke and Wang Yuan heard this, they were both surprised. The late-stage righteous man who owns the temple is not an ordinary threat. Both of them became vigilant and worried.
Zhu Ke said: "A strong late-stage righteous god actually appeared in our northern part of the Eastern Wilderness. It seems that something big is going to happen in the northern part of the Eastern Wilderness."
"Elder Xiao, from today onwards, we will guard the northern part of the Eastern Wilderness with you."
"That's right, we guard the northern part of the Eastern Wilderness together. In the late stage of Zhengshen, one cannot deal with it alone. The three of us can only have a chance of winning if we work together."
